Iman’s Journey: From Escaping Syria to Studying in France

Speaking about starting her studies in Boité, “I’m excited to live a new life away from the refugee camp and to prove myself and my capabilities. At the same time, I’m emotional about leaving my life here.”

“Many Syrians cannot afford medications or cover basic expenses, especially in the refugee camp. My aspirations are to help my family get out of the refugee camp. I also want to show the reality of people who are not lucky in life and face these really difficult circumstances.”

The efforts of the Relief International team in Jordan have been instrumental in supporting students like Iman to achieve things once thought impossible. Our project, which aimed to enhance educational opportunities for children and livelihood opportunities for youth has supported over 2,000 Syrian refugees.

This achievement reflects the incredible resilience of community members like Iman, as well as the dedication of the team in Jordan and key partners, such as Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). Together, they demonstrate what is possible when we work collaboratively to help communities restore their lives.

From facing challenges of refugee life to earning a prestigious scholarship, Iman’s story inspires hope for others walking a similar path, showing that they too can fulfil their goals against all odds.
